A68037	A world of vvonders: or An introduction to a treatise touching the conformitie of ancient and moderne wonders or a preparatiue treatise to the Apologie for Herodotus. The argument whereof is taken from the Apologie for Herodotus written in Latine by Henrie Stephen, and continued here by the author himselfe. Translated out of the best corrected French copie.; Apologia pro Herodoto. English	Estienne, Henri, 1531-1598.; Carew, Richard, 1555-1620, attributed name.; R.

that_o record_a by_o herodotus_n viz._n that_o the_o son_n succeed_v in_o his_o father_n office_n who_o have_v be_v a_o corrupt_a judge_n shall_v be_v force_v to_o sit_v upon_o his_o father_n skin_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o they_o will_v look_v a_o little_a better_o about_o they_o neither_o will_v they_o so_o eager_o pursue_v nor_o so_o greedy_o gape_v after_o office_n as_o they_o do_v but_o i_o fear_v i_o such_o lawyer_n will_v answer_v that_o when_o that_o punishment_n mention_v by_o herodotus_n be_v inflict_v upon_o this_o judge_n office_n be_v not_o set_v to_o sale_n and_o sell_v by_o the_o drum_n as_o now_o they_o be_v see_v this_o customary_a buy_n and_o sell_v of_o office_n begin_v but_o of_o late_a year_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o look_v a_o little_a better_o to_o their_o place_n whereas_o the_o haste_n which_o man_n make_v now_o a_o day_n to_o fill_v their_o bag_n again_o cause_v they_o now_o and_o then_o to_o forget_v their_o duty_n they_o may_v further_o allege_v that_o whereas_o herodotus_n report_v that_o a_o young_a girl_n about_o 8._o or_o 9_o year_n of_o age_n say_v unto_o her_o father_n look_v to_o yourself_o father_n lest_o this_o man_n corrupt_v you_o with_o his_o bribe_n they_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v solicit_v by_o wife_n and_o child_n by_o friend_n and_o kinsman_n to_o take_v every_o present_n that_o be_v offer_v now_o albeit_o this_o excuse_n may_v pass_v for_o currant_n with_o man_n yet_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o before_o who_o they_o must_v one_o day_n give_v a_o account_n of_o their_o stewardship_n will_v take_v it_o for_o good_a payment_n questionless_a they_o may_v assure_v themselves_o he_o will_v not_o but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o impunity_n former_o mention_v if_o we_o consider_v how_o the_o course_n of_o justice_n be_v pervert_v and_o how_o they_o who_o shall_v remedy_v and_o redress_v it_o be_v the_o great_a agent_n for_o it_o we_o shall_v not_o great_o wonder_v at_o the_o matter_n and_o where_o they_o shall_v begin_v to_o punish_v such_o as_o offend_v in_o this_o kind_n i_o make_v they_o their_o own_o judge_n for_o say_v they_o shall_v punish_v some_o malefactor_n yet_o what_o likelihood_n be_v there_o they_o shall_v punish_v those_o to_o who_o they_o secret_o give_v the_o watchword_n not_o to_o do_v as_o they_o enjoin_v they_o in_o their_o

somewhat_o different_a howbeit_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o this_o fact_n of_o amorabaquin_n ought_v to_o be_v term_v cruelty_n or_o temeritie_n rather_o than_o severity_n in_o that_o the_o theft_n which_o he_o punish_v be_v but_o petty_a larcenie_n and_o the_o party_n not_o convict_v thereof_o by_o order_n of_o law_n but_o like_a enough_o the_o emperor_n intent_n be_v to_o terrify_v other_o by_o his_o example_n i_o can_v further_o allege_v sundry_a other_o example_n of_o like_a rigour_n and_o severity_n exercise_v by_o judge_n and_o that_o upon_o their_o near_a kinsman_n and_o not_o to_o seek_v far_o off_o for_o example_n we_o read_v in_o the_o french_a chronicle_n of_o certain_a king_n who_o have_v do_v the_o like_a but_o that_o which_o shall_v especial_o move_v prince_n to_o execute_v justice_n though_o they_o have_v no_o regard_n of_o he_o who_o will_v one_o day_n call_v they_o to_o a_o reckon_n be_v the_o example_n of_o those_o who_o through_o neglect_n or_o for_o

as_o well_o in_o this_o as_o in_o other_o thing_n we_o may_v well_o wonder_v thereat_o for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o fifty_o pardon_n be_v grant_v with_o less_o suit_n at_o this_o day_n than_o five_o can_v be_v obtain_v two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o and_o we_o have_v hear_v how_o a_o judge_n of_o paris_n who_o be_v live_v within_o these_o hundred_o year_n will_v use_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o the_o due_a execution_n of_o justice_n which_o man_n use_v now_o a_o day_n to_o hinder_v the_o same_o for_o whereas_o we_o say_v he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n and_o in_o the_o april_n of_o his_o
